The College Tragedy
Okay, so here is my new problem. However for some basics I will go back just a little bit.
I am a senior in high school, and I will be graduating this Christmas. I will be graduating a whole semester early, because I have worked my ass off. I am a fairly intelligent individual. I school I have never truly applied myself to be all that I could be. I have settled for a A, B average, and I am happy with this. I see school as a requirement to succeed in life, howeverI don't think school is all that. I however have plans to go to college. I however run a small part time business, and I do not have time to go to a regular sit down, and study college. I require my classes to be on my own schedule and not one set by someone else. I do plan on expanding my business while in college, and running it to its full potential when I have graduated. Most people BTW, in the gay community do not know this about me. What I do is mildly embarrassing but the money is excellent. I also will have news articles, income, and expierience when I gradaute. Which, I am hoping will set me years ahead of the pack.
The problem lies, in this... Most guys I meet chuckle at the college I have been accepted to. There is this persona in online universities that it's not " a reall college." They tend to think I am a moron. That I have no real talents, and that it is a joke. I always thought an education was an education no matter where it comes from. While I can see their points, it still to me is college. It will enable me to move around wherever I want, and not be bound by the restriction of a traditional brick and mortar school. I really have had a problem dating people who laugh at this. I mean even the ones who aren't in college laugh at this. To me I am proud of my accomplishments, and I plan on continueing to do so. However, people tend to think of me as a joke with this. It really is starting to bug me, and bring me down. Any advice on how to convey my ideas and beliefs on this to people I date would be appreciated.
Thanks,
T
